Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2007
515 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the under staffing levels at Ronanstown Garda Station and the need for extra Gardaí to be appointed there; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35363/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe personnel strength of Ronanstown Garda Station as of 30 November, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 90. The Deputy will appreciate that, as with any large organisation, on any given day the overall strength of the organisation may fluctuate due, for example, to retirements, resignations etc.
It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. The situation will be kept under review and when additional personnel next become available the needs of Ronanstown Garda Station will be fully considered by him within the overall context of the needs of Garda Divisions throughout the country.
